Dylan Dearborn can only shake his head when he sees those television infomercials.

Are you depressed? Take this pill. Feel you look funny? Take one of these. Not sleeping tonight? Take some of this.

Dearborn offers a one-stop remedy.

“Really, people just need to get off their” couch, Dearborn, 35, said. “Box, ride a bike, get out of the house. I’m not saying do Jiu-Jitsu, but yeah, do Jiu-Jitsu. Do something.”

Seven years ago, he did Jiu-Jitsu. That decision has since given him a new purpose in life.

Dearborn is owner of Infinity Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Santee. The martial arts academy, which also offers kick boxing and yoga classes, opened last October and last month established a championship pedigree.

It sent five members to the American National Jiu-Jitsu Championship in the Los Angeles County city of Carson, and four — Dearborn, Mark Jacobs, Robert Jones and Mike Byrd — returned with gold medals.

The academy also is one of six in San Diego County that make up the BJJ Revolution Team, which finished first in the county for the fifth time in six years.

Just over a year ago, Dearborn was holding training courses in his garage.

Henry Diaz, an assistant wrestling coach at West Hills High School, calls those days “awesome.”

“It was dark, and it was hot, humid and muggy,” said Diaz, a blue belt. “It’d be intense in there.”

Maybe, at times, a little too intense.

The handful of people who participated pushed their bodies to exhaustion. It smelled of sweat. Outside, someone might be vomiting.

When Dearborn opened Infinity, he adjusted the intensity so that any person — male or female — can step in and begin training.

“It’s good for all ages,” said Dylan Schwartz, 55.

Schwartz and Diaz consider the academy to be family, a home away from home. For Dearborn, it looks like home.

His wife of nearly 11 years, G’Anna Dearborn, handles the business side of the academy, and their sons Ever, 8, and Ryder, 5, train under their father’s instruction.

Last week, six candles lit the mat inside the academy. Dearborn walked outside to the parking lot so not to disturb the yoga class that was about to begin.

On this evening, under the faint light of street lamps, the brown belt said he can’t imagine what his life would be like without Jiu Jitsu.

He stood 10 feet away from a “For Lease” sign hanging inside a building next door to his. Someday, he hopes, that empty business space will also be his.

“Sometimes I just can’t believe — I don’t understand. I don’t know if I deserve to be where I’m at,” Dearborn said. “Other times, I see why I’m here: my family and all the people around me.”
